How to Get Rid of Leg Soreness

Being sore after a hard session is natural. Part of being a good pro is managing your body and resting properly. Best way to remove soreness is by taking an ice bath!

For this video I'm going to teach you how and why to get your legs up to remove soreness. This is for when you are watching TV, lying in bed, etc and you don't want to be freezing in an ice bath!

Key Points:

Key Point 1 -- Get your feet up above your heart. There are a few ways you can do this: Yoga Style, TV Watching Style, Youtubing in Bed Style

These are three basic legs up styles. Feel free to be creative but it's fairly straight forward. Just get your legs up!

Reason being is this will alter the blood flow to your legs and help move that soreness outta there. Some people say this is a myth. I'm not a scientist but all I can say is it worked for me when I was a pro, they do it in yoga and I know other athletes that rest like this with their legs up.

Key Point 2 -- Do something productive when you are relaxing. Read a book, watch how to videos, watch pros play soccer/football, do homework, etc.

Key Point 3 --For the couch and bed leg up styles you can lay with your legs up as long as you'd like but don't do it for 5 minutes and expect results. It takes a while. The Yoga pose is pretty intense. I'd do that one for no more then 5-10 minutes depending on your yoga skills! Namaste!

What Player Could Be Doing Wrong:

If your leg soreness isn't going away remember that this is not flip the switch medical advice here. You won't feel a massive difference right away but it will help over time. The main point is to take care of your body and rest. For example if you have a morning game and a night game in the same day. Don't be walking around the mall all day when you should be laying in bed with your legs up, resting, relaxing and hydrating.
